Lis Haddad (Belo Horizonte, Brazil, * 1981) is a visual artist and educator based in São Paulo. Her research brings together art, relational processes, and knowledge production, investigating how memory, experience, and different cosmologies become inscribed in matter. Working primarily through textile practices, writing, listening, and participatory devices, she develops bodies of work that explore relationships between humans, more-than-humans, and territories. Marked by repetition, duration, and material experimentation, her processes unfold into objects, installations, and actions that condense temporalities while expanding the artwork into relational contexts.
Recent exhibitions include the XIV Florence Biennale (2023), O Poço e o Pêndulo (São Paulo, 2025), Refundação (São Paulo and Ouro Preto, 2024), Paisagens Mineradas (São Paulo, Belém, Ouro Preto, and Belo Horizonte, 2024), Water Bodies (Berlin, 2022), and Over (the) Mine (Munich, 2022). She has participated in residencies including Mirante Xique-Xique (Bahia, 2026), Casco (São Paulo, 2024), Projekthof (Germany, 2022), and Artist in Residence Munich (2022).
